Reina Vs Moretto? I'll take Reina but it's debatable.
Riise Vs Leo? Right now, I'll take Leo.
Finnan Vs Nelson? I'll take Finnan. I'll take Finnan over Alcides as well but the tall Brazilian is actually not a bad man-marker at all.
Carragher Vs Anderson? I'll take Carragher but I like Anderson a lot. Anderson is better than Juan or Roque Junior IMHO.
Hyppia Vs Luis‹o? I'm not crazy about either but I'll take Hyppia.
Alonso Vs Beto? Xabi Alonso by any measure imaginable.
Hamann Vs Petit? Hamann for me.
Gerrard Vs Manuel Fernandes? Gerrard.
Sim‹o Vs Kewell? This season, I'll go with Kewell.
Laurent Robert Vs Luis Garcia? Garcia, easily.
Nuno Gomes Vs Crouch? I don't like either. Crouch is a joke but seems like a very nice boy.
What attracts me in Liverpool in recent times is the Hyppia, Carragher, Alonso, Hamann defensive block and I'll take that block over Anderson, Luis‹o, Fernandes and Petit. That's my preference.
Let's face it nobody appreciates Liverpool for their attacking prowess but that defensive block I mentiuoned appeals to me.
So, what gives? How did we win both legs? A little bit of luck
Judging by the last 4 games FC Porto is finally buttimilating the mechanics of Adriaanse's attacking 3-3-4 system and is playing the best attacking football in the league. Next Wednesday they meet Sporting who is playing the best Defensive football in the league. I'm very excited over this one, should be quite a game.
is running away with the Portugese title, that's fine with me.
IF Barcelona plays Benfica for what they are then they should destroy them with fluid free flowing attacking football.
But IF Barcelona play Vs the team they "heard" beat Man utd and Liverpool and walk in with too much caution and respect because they heard about their victories then anything can happen.
On paper Barcelona should beat Benfica but on paper Man Utd even on their worse night should have beaten Benfica and on paper Liverpool should never have suffered 3 goals Vs a limited team like Benfica.
Portuguese Football Commentator shortly before the Liverpool Vs Benfica games said and I quote "Crouch is like M‡rio Jardel, you barely notice him and suddenly he scores". Crouch is like Jardel? Only a complete moron would say such a thing.
Does Crouch have a nickname? May I suggest "Twiggy"? He reminds me of Christian Bale in "The Machinist", the guy's skin looks paper thin, it's hard to believe he can run for 90 minutes without fainting.
